Nursing license blocked due to past mental health issues

I am a woman who worked 18 years as an LPN, then because I was struggling with mental health and it qualified me for SSDI. Somehow this has removed me from renewing or ever applying for a licens again in WA state. Can I go back to school for RN, or am I forever blocked?
